About Latoya
Latoya Rivers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who helps people address anger and related concerns. She supports individuals dealing with relationship strain, low self esteem, career crossroads, and the stress of parenting or caregiving. She also works with grief, intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.
Her approach centers on listening first and following the person’s lead. She uses client-centered methods to build on strengths and values.
Background and approach
She also applies solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals and track progress. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Conversations focus on what matters most and on steps a person can try between meetings.
Latoya aims to make sessions feel respectful and straightforward rather than clinical or overwhelming. With three years of professional experience, she brings a down-to-earth style to the work. Her Virginia LCSW credential is listed as VA LCSW.
People who prefer working by video, phone, live chat, or text can connect in those formats. Latoya emphasizes short-term tools alongside longer-term change. She helps people identify patterns that fuel anger and learn new ways to respond.
Her goal is to help people feel more in control and better able to handle life’s demands.

How Latoya’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to each person’s priorities and building on what already works for them. In practice this means sessions start with the person’s goals and values, and the therapist reflects back what she hears so plans grow from that foundation.Solution-Focused Therapy aims for concrete, short-term change by identifying small steps that make a difference quickly. It’s useful for concerns like anger, career choices, communication problems, and coping with life changes where clear next steps help move things forward.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods based on what the person needs, wants, and prefers. That collaborative process helps identify whether to focus on skills, problem-solving, or a mix of both.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is good for a in-depth conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text are useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep consistent sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
